Constantipation

This is a fictional word my ten year old brother came home from school telling me his friend had informed him was an antonym for constipation. After I told him that this sounded like bollocks he said "Seriously, google 'can't stop pooing'". I did, and it turned out to be bollocks.

Along the way, however I discovered that there are several interesting synonyms for diarrhoea. These are the 'Aztec two-step' and 'Montesuma's Revenge'. Both are American slang phrases referring to the tendency of travellers going to Mexico to get diarrhoea. 'Aztec' Two-Step is just a reference to mexicans. Montesuma II was a mexican king killed by invading spaniards so the phrase's origin becomes obvious.

I never knew Mexico had such a reputation for Diarrhoea.

World's First iPhone

Another Uberfact I just had to check.

This was the first iPhone ever invented. It was made in 1983 and is a landline...

Looks sort of like an iPad with a phone stuck on it. Hmmmmmm

No chemistry being learned today, just pointless shit.

Instant Karma

A Colombian guy gets hit by a bus after running away with woman's purse. Classic.

Zack and Cody

For anyone who watched the beloved disney show "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" or the subsequent, equally beloved, (however Ashley Tisdale lacking) "Suite Life on Deck"; here is what Dylan and Cole Sprouse look like now...

Oh dear...

As for Ashley tisdale...

...still awesome.

Police capture fugitive

This guy was put on the police's most wanted list for £25000 armed robbery, and assaulting someone in court. This is him being caught in Spain.

Why risk life imprisonment for £25k?

PUMPCAST NEWS

Random people in USA are spoken to by news presenter at petrol pump and impulsively do some karaoke. This is crazy, I love these people, that is all.

Banksy

Call me a fangirl, but I love Banksy. I missed his exhibit when it was touring the UK but follow any stories about him in the paper. There was some crap about controversy at an auction this week, but that's not what this is about. It reminded me of something which I saw before I started this blog: 

In Banksy's exhibits, he has used the 'Elephant in the room' as a metaphor for poverty. Turns out, this water tank, in California, was actually the feature of a channel 4 documentary about a homeless man who had built himself a furnished house with television reception in this very tanker. The guy was kicked out by the water company when they discovered it. Some critics have dismissed this story coinciding with Banksy's writing on it as a coincidence, saying Banksy is more tongue-in-cheek than this and it was probably just a comment about the tank looking like an elephant. These people are wrong. Why else would he fly half way across the world to write on a water tank?

In other news, this is supposedly what he actually looks like:

If it is, I will be thoroughly disappointed.

His rumoured real name is Robert Gunningham, who was a kid born in Bristol, as Banksy was, and was good at drawing at school. Reportedly, Banksy said: " Anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like me. " Brilliant.

Some good youtubing today

Unearthed an old gem on youtube whilst procrastinating today. Should help me with my maths exam on monday. Dog with a firework, i love the guy's hip thrust to dodge it.

"Vertical Forest"

Bosco verticale is a new tower block being built in Milan which is going to provide housing and the same number of trees as 10000 square feet of forest. Granted that is only 100 feet by 100 feet, but still impressive. Supposedly going to act as a smog filter. Looks like we're going to have to wait and see.

Boris Johnson Basketball

This is a video which came out within the last week as BoJo was promoting the Olympic Legacy. Well worth a watch, he can do no wrong!

Mindblowing and scary talk

Another TED lecture.

This one is crazy. It's about how electrodes can be implanted in the brain and cure people with parkinsons of tremors and can help people with other neurological conditions. What is scary is the potential it has for controlling your brain and just how far it could be taken.

There is a logical step from this to mind control. Fantastic life changing treatment though.

The World's First Ever Website

Saw a link to the world's first ever website today. I'm surprised I'd never come across it before considering the amount of shit I see. Anyways, here it is. Seems so pointless and limited considering its potential.
